WHAT IS DESIGN THINKING

By definition, Design Thinking is a problem-solving approach based on collaborative and experimental intentional processes that can lead to innovation.

In education, Design Thinking can support the work for socio-emotional competencies by addressing everyday issues and problems as opportunities that can lead to creative solutions, be it classroom, pedagogical planning or school management issues.

Design Thinking has been used in public and private organizations around the world and aims to stimulate the culture of collaboration among those involved in the search for solutions that result in perceived value by people.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Empathy, collaboration and experimentation form the three pillars of Design Thinking (DT), an approach that can support the search for innovation with quality, from the perception of value in people’s lives. The concept gained popularity in the early 2000s, when IDEO, one of the most influential and internationally awarded agencies with headquarters in Silicon Valley, California / USA, started to use in their consulting work for public and private organizations around the world.

Design Thinking seeks to create a culture of innovation centered on the human being. It has been used in several areas of business to social causes and aims to stimulate co-creation process for searching solutions that result in value perceived by people. Two years after the launch of Design Thinking for Educators in Brazil, Educadigital Institute is offering an online training course for facilitators for people who speak English, aimed at professionals from all areas of knowledge interested in mediating collaborative educational processes in schools, NGO, businesses and other institutions.
